DOOR HANGER.

Application filed June 8,

To ((7? "21:720-721 it may cancer-2r:

Be it known that I, HERBERT M. Con, a citizen of the. United States, and resident of San Jose. in the county of Santa Claraand State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Door Hangers, of which the following is a specification. V I

My invention relates particularly to a hanger for sliding doors.

It is the object of my invention to provide a simple, positively acting and adjustable hanger for sliding doors. It is a further object to provide a hanger of the character indicated that can be adjusted, positioned or removed through the pocket providedfor the door, and that is mounted on a vertical studding thereby preventing uneven settling of the said door.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a side elevation of the device in position but collapsed.

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same extended.

Figure 3 is an enlarged detail of the part A in Figure 1.

Figure 4 is an enlarged detail of the part B in Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a section on line 55 of Figure 4.

Figure 6 is an enlarged detail of part in Figure 1, partly in section.

Figure 7 is a section on line 77 of Figure .Figure 8 is a section on line 8-8 of Figure 1.

I'ieferring more particularly to the drawing, 1 indicates a studding of abuilding frame and 2 a portion of a sliding door, each having a short track section mounted on its lower portion as shown at and 4 respectively. On the upper end of studding 1 and in vertical alignment with track 3, is mounted a bracket carrying a horizontal pin 6. On the upper portion of door 2 in vertical alignment with track 4 is mounted a bracket 7 carrying apin 8 held in place by a cotter pin 9.

At 10 is shown a U bar carrying terminal flanges 11-11 in which is mounted a truss rod 12 adjust-able therein by nuts 13,. a strut being inserted between rod 12 and bar 10 as shown at 14. One end of bar 10 is fitted with an eye 15 to engage pin 8, and the other end has a bearing 16 slidably mounted there- Specific-ation of Letters Patent.

' on and adjustable with relation thereto by means. of a slot and bolt as shown at 1'7 and 18 respectively. A sheave or roller is shown at 19 mounted upon bearing 16 to engage track 3.

A1; 20 is shown a second bar having parts 21222324 mounted thereon in exactly the same manner as parts l112-13 and 14 are arranged on bar. '10. On the upper end of bar 26 is mounted a hook 25 toengage pin 6, and on its lower end is adjustably mounted a sheave or roller 26 to engage track 4. The adjustment for this sheave is exactly the same as shown at 161718 in connection with sheave 19. 1

The two bars 10 and 20 are pivotally mounted one upon the other at their central points by means of apin 27.

If, now, hook 25 is mounted on pin 6, roller 19 on track 3, eye 15 on pin 8 and roller 26 on track 4, the door 2 will be held in a. given position with relation to the floor 2S and may be moved backward or forward without changing its relation to the floor.

Since the lower ends of bars 1020 are mounted upon sheaves there is a tendency for the device to collapse and automatically withdraw the door 2 as shown in Figure 1. This tendency is overcome by inserting a spring 29 between the bars 10-20 as shown so that the said bars will remain in any given position until forced to change through the manual operation of door 2.

In its practical application, of course, the sheaves 19 and 26 are moved simultaneously along their respective tracks the Weight of the door serving to kee) them in positive engagement therewith. T with relation to the floor by tightening up or loosening the nuts on rods 1222 as required, or by adjusting the sheaves 1926 on their respective bars, these adjustments slightly flexing the bars to extend the bottom of the device or slightly shortening or lengthening the one bar or the other as the case may be. The adjustment of nuts 13-23 and roller 26 may be effected when the device is fully extended as shown in Figure 2, or the pin 18 may be removed and the door detached from the device, whereupon the bars 10-20 may be removed for adjustment by lifting the same off of pin 6.

From the foregoing description it may readily be seen that I have provided a door hanger that can be readily placed in position he door is adjusted or removed therefrom without injury to the wall in which it is placed, and that is positive in operation, simple in form and construction, economical to'manufacture and hi hly efficient in its practical application.

t is to be understood, of course, that changes in form, construction and method of operation may be made within the scope of the appended claims.

flange, and means for connecting the ends of the bars to a door and a supporting structure.

2. A door hanger comprising a pair of U-sectioned bars having their base faces pivotally connected to each other intermediate their ends and their side flanges extending outwardly in opposite directions, means fonpivotally connecting one of the ends of each bar respectively to a door and. a supporting structure, and means slidably connecting the opposite ends thereto including a bracket slidably fitted between the flanges of one bar, means adjustably connecting the bracketto the base wall of said bar, and a wear member carried on the outer end of the bracket for engagement with said door structure.
